| Heather Pace - Hometown Hope | Advisory Board I was born and raised in Georgia. After spending many of my adult years living in various areas of the country I now call Buford my home. I spent 15 years working for corporate coffee houses and finally made the leap of faith and opened up my own coffee house 3 years ago. Most recently I have decided to follow my true calling and have founded a local non-profit Hometown Hope.
